<p>The FPL Free Hit is one of the most powerful chips you can use in Fantasy Premier League. In the 2021/22 season, FPL gave managers two Free Hits due to unprecedented fixture disruption.</p>
<p>Just like a <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fantasy-premier-league-wildcard-and-when-to-use-it/">Wildcard</a>, you can make unlimited changes to your squad.</p>
<p>This allows you to avoid point hits that occur from making excessive transfers.</p>
<p>Once you play the Free Hit, you cannot cancel it. Ensure that you&#8217;re ready to deviate from your normal team before activating.</p>

<p>However, there is one key difference between both chips &#8211; the transfers only last for one gameweek on a Free Hit.</p>
<p>If you activate the Free Hit for Gameweek 3, your squad will revert back to how it was before you made those transfers when Gameweek 4 arrives.</p>

</ul>
<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>How can we Optimise the Free Hit in FPL?</strong></h2>
<p>Many top FPL managers like our very own FPL_Salah use the Free Hit to navigate Blank Gameweeks.</p>
<p>A Blank Gameweek in Fantasy Premier League (FPL)  is caused by the rearrangement of fixtures due to other cup competitions.</p>
<p>It is when several teams do not play within a gameweek so you may struggle to field eleven players in your Fantasy team.</p>
<p>Blanks often occur towards the end of the season when cup competitions are past the quarter-final stage.</p>
<p>For example, in Gameweek 27, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all blank.</p>
<p>Instead of getting rid of their players and losing some of the best FPL assets, you can just Free Hit them out of your squad and get those players back for the following gameweek.</p>
<p>These blanks help to form Double Gameweeks in the future. Postponed fixtures will fall under an existing Gameweek so these teams would have two matches within a particular Gameweek as a result.</p>
<p>In the last Premier League campaign, Manchester United got three fixtures within a Gameweek.</p>
<p>This formed the famous <strong>Triple Gameweek 35</strong> when FPL managers stocked up on popular United assets such as <strong>Luke Shaw, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Greenwood</strong>.</p>
<p>Using the Free Hit more aggressively in a Double Gameweek when most other FPL managers play it during a blank could become a popular strategy for those with two Free Hits left.</p>
